How do diversity seminars work?

I just got accepted into a diversity seminar at an elite boutique, it's in a few weeks. From the description it seems like you just listen to people talk and then get an opportunity to speak with them. How do you leverage this into an interview? How many people are typically accepted into these seminars? Wondering what the general vibe is at these events and how to take advantage of this opportunity.

Anyone convert one of these seminars into a job or at least an interview? How'd you do it?
